Associates Loan Co., (N.S.L.) v. Walker

Parker (plaintiff) complained to Bell (defendant) about tire wear soon after buying a truck, and Bell arranged a repair that didn't actually fix the underlying defective wheel housing, but Parker never complained again to Bell or the manufacturer before suing, leaving them unaware the initial repair had failed.

Whether, where the buyer of a product discovers a defect in it and does not notify the seller of such defect prior to filing suit against the seller, the buyer may maintain such suit.
